ECONOMIC SIGNIFICANCE OF THE LOGISTICS INDUSTRY

In 2014, ALC and ACIL Allen Consulting produced a landmark economic report to highlight the importance of the logistics sector to the national economy. The report quantifies the true size, scope and breadth of the logistics industry.

The report demonstrates that all Australians will benefit from more efficient supply chains, however, greater government focus and attention is required on a number of key areas to achieve these efficiency improvements, including:• investment in critical logistics infrastructure• greater certainty on planning for freight• eliminating overlapping regulations which affect

productivity• ensuring there is a whole-of-supply chain focus on

strategic corridors

8.6% of GDP

Sectors to benefit most are forestry, manufacturing, processed food, wholesale and retail trade and construction

1.2 million people employed

$131.6 billion to Australia’s economy

1% will increase GDP by $2 billion

The National Transport Commission projects Australia’s freight task will grow by 26% over the next decade, it’s clear that unless corrective steps are taken quickly, the safety and efficiency of Australia’s supply chains are at enormous risk.

This all underscores the need to ensure Australia has appropriate national regulation and infrastructure in place to meet Australia’s future freight challenges. Both issues are critical to creating a more efficient supply chains and a stronger national economy and are central to ALC’s advocacy efforts to all levels of government.

Now is the Time to Get the Supply Chain RightOver the past 18 months, ALC has produced three short videos featuring industry leaders on Getting the Supply Chain Right and a National Freight and Supply Chain Strategy:• Now is the Time to Get the Supply Chain Right -

September 2016• Why Do we Need a National Freight and Supply

Chain Strategy? - October 2016• A National Freight and Supply Chain Strategy -

Charting The Course - June 2017

ALC’s first video Freight Never Stands Still, updated in March 2016, explains the Economic Significance of the Australian Logistics Industry report (above) and the everyday benefits of more efficient supply chains to all Australians and to the national economy.

Getting the Supply Chain RightA focus of ALC is continuing to engage with Infrastructure Australia (IA) on the implementation of its 15-year Australian Infrastructure Plan. Released in February 2016, the Plan sets out 78 recommendations for reform. IA also released a revised Infrastructure Priority List which identifies 93 projects and initiatives. A number of the plan’s recommendations picked up on ALC priorities, which we highlighted in our submission on the Infrastructure Audit in 2015.

Chief among the recommendations is for Australia to have a National Freight and Supply Chain Strategy, and in the 2016 Annual Infrastructure Statement to Parliament, Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull committed the Australian Government to developing this.

The Strategy would potentially involve IA, working with the private sector (including ALC) to:• map nationally significant supply chains and their access

to supporting infrastructure and gateways; • evaluate the adequacy of the institutional framework

supporting freight networks and;• recommend reforms and investments that will move the

efficient movement of freight.

The importance of the Strategy to industry and to our national economy is clearly set out in Freight Doesn’t Vote, ALC’s recent submission to the Inquiry Into National Freight and Supply Chain Priorities. The recommendations in our submission build on work underway at state and federal levels, as well as the previously released National Land Freight Strategy and National Ports Strategy.

Another ALC priority reflected in the Plan was a requirement for the Australian Government, in partnership with the States and Territories, to establish effective corridor protection mechanisms to ensure the timely preservation of surface, subterranean and air corridors and strategic sites for future infrastructure priorities.

Progressing the National Freight and Supply Chain Strategy was the top priority of ALC’s 2016 election priorities document Getting the Supply Chain Right. The document contains 29 recommendations aimed at improving the efficiency and safety of Australia’s supply chains, with a particular focus on six key areas:

• Getting the Structure Right• Getting Road Pricing Right

• Getting Planning Right • Getting Road Safety Right

• Getting Rail Right • Getting Technology Right

ALC’s focus on these six key issues recognises the importance of efficient supply chains to Australia’s economic and social prosperity. High performing supply chains, underpinned by consistent regulation, appropriate national infrastructure and seamless information transfer across the logistics industry, enable the smooth flow of goods from production to consumption. They are critical to supporting future economic growth, encouraging investment, building more sustainable communities and preparing Australia for future global, national and regional challenges.

ALC will continue to work with the Federal Government on these six critical areas to ensure Australia has appropriate national regulation and infrastructure in place to meet Australia’s future freight challenges.

SubmissionsSince 2010, ALC has provided over 100 submissions to all levels of government on the four critical issues of Supply Chain Logistics Safety, Infrastructure, Regulation and Technology, including: • Encouraging the development and implementation of

nationally consistent transport laws, such as the Heavy Vehicle National Law;

• Advocacy on nationally significant logistics infrastructure to support improved freight efficiency, including Inland Rail, and Badgery’s Creek Airport;

• Promoting the important role industry driven codes, such as the National Logistics Safety Code of Practice, play in meeting companies’ Chain of Responsibility obligations;

• Encouraging reforms to heavy vehicle pricing and investment to drive improved access and productivity outcomes;

• Advocating for seamless regulatory arrangements and the removal of legislative overlap, including the abolition of the Road Safety Remuneration Tribunal;

• Encouraging governments to recycle funds raised from privatised or leased assets into productive logistics infrastructure; and

• Encouraging greater recognition and adoption of technologies, such as telematics, to support more efficient and compliant supply chains.

ALC also holds formal and informal policy dialogues with all levels of government to discuss critical issues facing the industry in the various jurisdictions.

In addition, ALC produces a range of policies, reports and position statements to encourage delivery on infrastructure and regulatory reforms to improve supply chain efficiency.

WORKING ON BEHALF OF INDUSTRY

Page 8: OVERVIEW - Australian Logistics Council · 2019. 1. 14. · Intermodal Terminal (IMT)!( IMT - Proposed or Under Investigation Rail Proposed KFR - Rail KFR - Rail Proposed Inland Railway

Despite some encouraging trends over the last decade, official government figures show that there needs to be a greater effort by everyone in the supply chain to improve safety and compliance.

The Australian Work Health and Safety Strategy 2012-20221 identified supply chains and networks as one of seven Action Areas.

Heavy Vehicle Safety is ImprovingStatistics from the Bureau of Infrastructure, Transport and Regional Economics (BITRE) also show safety in the heavy vehicle industry is generally improving. BITRE’s latest report (Fatal Heavy Vehicle Crashes - Quarterly Bulletins - March Quarter) shows fatal crashes involving articulated trucks decreased by 12% compared with the corresponding period one year earlier, and decreased by an average of 1.7% per year over the three years to March 20183.

It needs to be noted that while heavy vehicles are over represented in crashes, studies have found that in fatal crashes involving other vehicles, the other driver was at fault in 84% of the accidents4.

WHY FOCUS ON SUPPLY CHAIN SAFETY?

CHAIN OF RESPONSIBILITY AND THE MASTER CODE

Chain of Responsibility and the Master Code are key subjects at the ALC Supply Chain Safety & Compliance Summits.

What is Chain of Responsibility?Chain of Responsibility (CoR) provisions contained in the Heavy Vehicle National Law (HVNL) mean that all parties in a supply chain are required to implement positive actions to prevent breaches of the law relating to speeding, fatigue, mass limits, load securing and the maintenance of heavy vehicles.

The intention of CoR is to make certain that all participants in the supply chain take their fair share of responsibility for maintaining the safety of road transport operations.

The premise of CoR laws is simple. If you consign, pack, load or receive goods as part of your business, you may be held liable for breaches of the HVNL.

Companies cannot ‘contract out’ their CoR obligations, no matter what their industry or part of the supply chain.

Chain of Responsibility in 2018From 1 October 2018, the CoR obligations of parties in the supply chain will be expanding.

Under these new arrangements, a primary duty of care will be introduced for supply chain participants to ensure, so far as is reasonably practicable, the safety of ‘road transport operations’, with executive officers (such as directors) having the primary duties regime applied to them through a positive due diligence obligation, similar to that imposed by WHS law.

Essentially, this means that if you or your company operates, loads, drives or sends/receives goods using a heavy vehicle, you will effectively have the same responsibilities as you presently do under WHS law to ensure that CoR has not been breached.

Accordingly, you will need to make certain all reasonably practicable steps are taken to ensure vehicles are properly loaded and goods secured, and that drivers undertake their responsibilities in a safe manner.

What is the Master Code? To help all supply chain participants better understand and meet these expanded obligations, ALC and the Australian Trucking Association (ATA) have partnered to develop a Registered Industry Code of Practice (commonly known as the Master Code) for heavy vehicle safety.

The Master Code will translate the requirements of the HVNL into a framework of known risk types, risk assessment information, and risk controls which parties with CoR obligations will be able to implement in their operations.

It will help to provide clarity for industry, for investigators, and for courts regarding the known risks around road transport operations, and the best practice response measures that may be installed to minimise those risks.

The contents of the Master Code are the result of an extensive program of industry consultation and engagement, ensuring that the Code reflects the need of industry participants.

How will the Master Code Work?The Master Code will be published on the National Heavy Vehicle Regulator’s website and made freely available to anyone who wishes to use it, subject to the terms of use.

The Master Code will translate the requirements of the HVNL into a framework of known risk types, risk assessment information, and risk controls for parties with CoR obligations to implement in their operations.

It will help to provide clarity for industry, for investigators, and for courts regarding the known risks around road transport operations, and the best practice response measures that may be installed to minimise those risks.

The Master Code will primarily address the four principal areas covered by the expanded CoR requirements:• Speed• Fatigue• Mass, Dimension, and Loading• Vehicle Standards & Maintenance.

ALC EVENTS

More than 280 leaders, policy-makers and professionals representing all parts of the supply chain gathered in Sydney from 6-8 March for ALC Forum 2018.

As the most significant annual gathering of industry professionals involved in the nation’s freight logistics industry, this year’s event was held at a crucial moment, as the Federal Government continues developing the National Freight and Supply Chain Strategy.

ALC Forum 2018 was also notable for keynote addresses, including the first major industry address by new Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Infrastructure and Transport, Hon Michael McCormack MP, as well as contributions from the Shadow Minister for Infrastructure, Transport, Cities and Regional Development, Hon Anthony Albanese MP, and the NSW Minister for Roads, Maritime and Freight, Hon Melinda Pavey MP.

Attendees were also provided with first-hand insights from three members of the Expert Panel advising the Inquiry into National Freight and Supply Chain Priorities about some of the major issues they identified, and discussed what industry’s next steps should be.

ALC Forum 2019 will be held on 5-7 March in Melbourne. Sessions for ALC Forum 2019 will focus on contemporary issues such as Northern Australia, the development of electric vehicles, the impact of the proposed Biosecurity Imports Levy, an analysis of the upcoming (or recently completed) Commonwealth election and sessions aimed at exploring rail, port and road efficiency and safety.www.austlogistics.com.au/ALCForum2019

Over 300 people from across the supply chain participated in the 2018 ALC & ATA Supply Chain Safety & Compliance Summit, which identified key areas and issues for industry and governments alike to focus on in the pursuit of enhanced safety outcomes.

Jointly hosted by ALC and the Australian Trucking Association (ATA), the Summit was held at Melbourne Park on 5-6 September, and was the last major industry event held prior to the commencement of changes to the Chain of Responsibility (CoR) provisions in the Heavy Vehicle National Law (HVNL) on 1 October.

It is vital that these changes are well understood by all industry participants. Through better compliance, we can provide safer workplaces and a safer environment for all road users.

Attendees had the opportunity to hear directly about initiatives to improve heavy vehicle safety from leading government figures, including the Deputy Prime Minister and Minster for Transport, Infrastructure and Regional Development, Hon. Michael McCormack MP, and Victoria’s Minister for Roads and Road Safety, Hon. Luke Donnellan MP.

The Summit also focussed heavily on the industry-wide Master Code for heavy vehicle safety, which has been jointly developed by ALC and the ATA over the past year, setting out how it can be used by all supply chain participants with CoR obligations to manage risks in their own operations.
